Princess Altrelia
67: Alstrelia

His footsteps never let him stop until he could find the person he was looking for.

Right, he's Arsela.

Arsela continued to walk through several corridors, not caring about the sight of the man who would know himself to go where he would still look, someone he felt very familiar with.

That is what is in his heart.

CLOAKS.

Just as the door was opened, a man with his status serving as Emperor finally appeared right before Arsela's eyes.

The man with the emerald green bead then drifted to the right side, turned to the right and followed his body facing to the right. "What made Miss Arsela walk in such a hurry?" Ask the man, who else if not Chavire.

No, rather his body did belong to Chavire, but not to the figure inhabiting the Emperor's body.

Arsela was initially silent when he saw the Emperor's glare that looked like a glare was waiting for something big.

Tap what?

What was the man waiting for?

"What's wrong? Did Miss Arsela finally find out that I was charming to the point of making you think of moving on with me?" ask again with a smile that continues to expand.

It was not a sincere smile, but a smile that was sneering at Arsela.

TAPS...TAPS….TAPS…..

‘There are people!’ Heart of Arsela.

Realizing that someone was walking towards them, Arsela was forced to push the man back into the room again.

“................?” With his innocent smile, this fake Chavire only followed Arsela's desire to hide before being caught by others.

CLOAKS.

“Did you see that? Princess Alstreia who rarely appeared, now appeared with the most beautiful dress. I envy, she turns out to be that pretty.”

“Isn't Miss Arsela pretty, too? No one can rival the dress she wears as well.”

“No, Princess Altrelia is the beautiful one.”

“Iya.iya..no matter you. since we are only a servant, what can be seen from women like us?” 

The two palace servants went through the room used as a hiding place from the two of them.

“As heard from the waiter earlier, did Miss feel rivaled to Princess Altrelia?” he asked, while glancing down, this fake Chavire gave a gentle smile that could not be separated from a sneer to Arsela.

“ Arsela initially looked seriously at the Emperor, ignoring what Arsela had just heard, Arsela finally opened her voice. “Who are you really?”

“Who am I? Of course Chavire, the Emperor of this country. Do I still need to introduce myself again, because we very rarely meet?” As if not understanding the meaning of Arsela's words, Chavire deliberately made their conversation go round and round.

“No, that's not what I meant. The one in front of me was indeed an Emperor, but-” Arsela raised her own right hand and looked at him with a gaze that looked quite deep. “What is in the body of the Emperor is not the Emperor himself. That must be you, right? Charles.” Arsela immediately glanced at the man in front of her with a sharp look. “Since when did you inhabit the Emperor's body?”

The soft smile on Chavire's lips slowly faded and changed with a thin smile full of strategy. “Did you just see my past with your power? You turned out to be a cunning woman too, huh? Arsela?” this man said, brushing his brown hair with the fingers of his right hand, adding: “If it wasn't you, I would have killed you. But since you've exposed my secret, then I won't hide it from you anymore. I am Charles, your past fiancee. Then hear you ask me since when I took over this body, that one I won't tell you.”

“Are you going to take revenge on me because I broke off our engagement?”

“He~ Turns out you had such thoughts about me?” charles Lips. “But I'm quite happy, since you asked me like that, meaning your strength still has limits, meaning your strength hasn't risen yet, right?” keep Charles. 

Charles was actually very eager to laugh at Arsela who dared to use her power to search for her past, but saw the reaction of Arsela's face that was increasingly sour because her guess was right, Charles was increasingly convinced that Arsela's power had not fully risen. 

A power capable of seeing one's past with its touch.

“I'm sure, with your strength, the dress must have been ordered after plagiarizing someone right?” terka Charles again when paying attention to the luxurious dress worn by Arsela.

In Charles's eyes, he really knew that Arsela's dress was indeed completely different from most of the dresses that circulated throughout the empire, but considering there is one more person who wears a beautiful dress but also the same as what is worn by Arsela, then Charles already fully know what kind of way is used by Arsela.

“You must have invited the designer Princess Altrelia wore, right? Then by looking at her past, you were able to trace her dress, and get another tailor to make it. But unfortunately, your plan failed miserably.” quipped Charles, with a gaze that was never terailhkan to look at Arsela's beautiful face.

“Silence,” concluded Arsela while shaking off the hand of charles who almost touched his hair. 

Charles chuckled at Arsela's angry reaction, until his hand was brushed aside quite roughly. 

“Party has started, are you going to stay here with me while making our own party?” charles asked in a seductive and sensual tone, because the hand that had just been Arsela tepis, was now coiled around Arsela's waist and pulled her with a light movement, so that the distance between them both disappeared.

BRUISES.

“I already have this power, become emperor, and can manage many people as I please. Don't you want to come back with me?” Charles again expressed his question to Arsela which made Arsela more and more into the abyss of thought. 

“I-” Arsela turned her face the other way when Chavire's basically handsome face but it turned out to be dominated by Charles, her past fiance, teased her more and made their faces both narrower. 

“Arm.” Call Charles in such a soft tone, he slightly gripped Arsela's face so as not to turn away from her. After being able to make Arsela look into his eyes again, Charles again said: “I actually already know, you are the group maker right? The one a week ago made a mess in the east gate.”

“Ba-mphh..” Not yet had time to say anything, his lips were immediately silenced with Charles' lips. No, it was not the lips of the harles, but the lips of Chavire's body.

‘From where he's good at kissing like that. What's more, he already knows my secret? When did Charles enter Chavire? If only my strength had risen, I would have known.’ thought Arsela after Charles removed his lip link.

Arselle.

He strongly did not believe that the Emperor who had been leading the Regalia Empire, his body was already possessed by Charles. 

Charles was his former fiancee 3 years ago, more precisely just before entering the Academy, Arsela who was already engaged to Charles broke up, because of the difference in social status of the common people, who were engaged to Charles, becoming a noble. 

More precisely Charles and Arsela were originally both commoners who lived in an orphanage.

But until Arsela was 11 and Charles was 13, they both left the orphanage to live independently. Or more correctly, because Arsela and Charles are no longer strong enough to live in an orphanage under the pressure of violence. 

2 Years passed living alone with a job as a lowly waitress in a restaurant.

After living their lives together for so long, Arsela and Charles make a deal to get engaged. Due to the age of adolescence, having a thirst for the name of love, 2 years pass the relationship is fine. 

But all those relationships ran aground after Arsela turned out to be the son of a nobleman who disappeared for more than 15 years. In order to avoid a prolonged conflict due to differences in status that Arsela has with Charles who is a commoner, Arsela finally broke the engagement.

Arsela lived with a huge amount of treasure, entered the prestigious Academy in the Regalia Empire, and met Alrescha.

For the sake of having a higher status, Arsela tried to crawl at all costs in order to get his attention. He pretended to be understanding, kind, and always tried to understand all the situations that Alrescha had, until finally the engagement to tie Alrescha in his grasp finally he got.

But what now? 

The one in front of his eyes was indeed the Emperor, but the one inhabiting the body of the emperor was Charles.

“Please let me go,” pinta Arsela while pushing Charles' body.

But that small force did not make Charles twitch from his place to embrace Arsela more into his arms. “Why should you let go of you? It's not you who came to me first and pulled me into the room?”

‘I originally just went to make sure that people are not real Emperors, but I just didn't think that he was Charles. How'this? Charles is not one who can let go of others easily if he has entered his environment, Arsela thought, confused in his own situation.

“What are they both doing? Even the brothers, still look friendly. I'm so envious of their relationship.” This woman muttered, when she accidentally saw Alrescha and Altrelia who were on the second floor, looking very close like a couple. 

“Only can as a spectator, still very satisfying eyes.”

“If Mr. Alrescha is not engaged yet, I will definitely introduce my daughter to him.”

The conversation about the two people who were considered brothers was heard in the ears of both of them. 

Altrelia simply closed her eyes while enjoying the gossip quietly.

But another thing with Alrescha that is very insinuated with all the words spoken by Alstrelia earlier. 

“Master, the magician Edward has come.” call Elbert, after successfully bringing back the person sought by Alrescha.

Alrescha turned around and managed to see the whereabouts of Edward who was already standing behind Elbert.

“Do you want to go there right now?” ask Edward without further ado to Alrescha. 

“Kesana? Now too?” Alstrelia, who was attracted by the sound that issued a sentence as if it was something that could be done quickly, managed to make Altrelia move out of her chair and walk to meet Edward. “What does it mean you can do that?” welcome Altrelia to the male owner of silver white hair.

‘Dia?!’ Edward who just found out that the one sitting behind Alrescha was Alstrelia, he immediately gave his reaction with a little backward.

Intrigued by Edward's shocking reaction, Altrelia increasingly has a desire to approach him. “What's up? Can't I know what you mean?” asked Alstrelia with her innocent face that seemed to really have a great curiosity for Edward.

TAP…...TAP…...TAPS…..

‘K-why is he approaching?!’ Edward said, Altrelia was getting closer to him. ‘Wire!’ Edward hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with his hands after sensing that something was about to come out of his nose.

“You covered your nose and mouth, it turns out you were disrespectful. Am I my body that way?” Alstrelia increasingly played Edward who walked backwards and tried to hide behind the body of Elbert who was still standing sculpting it.

Altrelia tried to raise her right hand and sniff her armpits. The same thing was done on his left. 

“Alstrelia.” Call Alrescha when you see the behavior of Alstrelia who is sniffing her own scent blatantly in front of three men.

“What? I'm just trying to make sure that my body doesn't smell.” says Altrelia.

‘Can't this woman stop playing people? And smell? His body does not smell at all, which there is even the aroma is still fragrant like 2 hours ago.’ Inner Elbert, still maintained his professional attitude as a knight so as not to be tempted by the attitude and appearance of Altrelia.

“You don't smell.”

“Keep why did he cover his nose and mouth?” asked Altrelia in a childish tone.

‘Did he know intentionally not when to act ha?!’ His head was pulsating thinking about this different nature of Altrelia. 

‘He was on purpose? Humiliate me? Damn, why did I meet the woman I should have avoided? What will it be?’ Every time her eyes looked at Altrelia, she had a reaction on her nose. ‘Look at it, it has made my brain remember again. Why can't I erase memories like this?!’ racau Edward, he really felt tormented by the memory where his eyes had seen the naked Altrelia. 

“.....................” felt that there was something strange about Edward that seemed to avoid him until like that, Altrelia resigned herself from her innocent and childish behavior earlier. Altrelia backed down, and said : “Are you going?”

Ignoring Edward's whereabouts, as Altrelia will take care of the man later.
